The Heart of Darkness is IDW G1, yes.

But there's been several evil Matrices over the years. Matrix of Evil, Galva-Matrix, Matrix of Conquest/Matrix of Chaos/Anti-Matrix, Dead Matrix, the nonexistent Decepticon Matrix, etc.

Whew ... I've definitely got some back reading to do! Haha

Looking at the list of upcoming Arms Microns toys, it looks like it with be Smokescreen. Which could result in Jack saying that it is a loaner because his bike is in the shop.

Also... The Star Saber is a possible item, as it requires a Matrix piece! And who knows? Also, maybe there is more than one Matrix and Megatron obtained it?

From what I have read on TFwiki, it is a IDW-based G1 continuity.

However, there is the Matrix of Conquest. And even though that was a fake in the G1 cartoon continuity, that could be used - Especially if it recreates the Dark Star Saber sequence done in Armada.

It's become par for the course lately, the AT&T U-verse program guide reveals additional details for the upcoming Transformers Prime episode "Legacy". This episode is scheduled to air on September 21st. See the extended synopsis below:

Megatron does his best to distract Optimus from the reality of a weapon of legend belonging to the Primes, which if discovered, could change the entire outcome of the war; Jack and his new Autobot companion set out on a mission.

Based on that, that may be the origin of the "dark energon"/"energon" sabers we see Megatron and Optimus respectively wield in the promo. Whether or not they're called the "Dark Saber" and/or "Star Saber" in the show (or if the two are one and the same), we'll have to wait for the episode to air.

Well, there's no reason the relics of the Primes couldn't reshape themselves to be more "user friendly" for whatever Prime weilds them.

Jack is paired up with a new partner? I hope that this doesn't mean that they are going to kill off Arcee or put her on a bus (or whatever the euphamism is). Hopefully this will be a temporary thing and not permanent.

It's probably just to have someone to show Smokescreen the ropes. Arcee could be with Miko this time if Bulkhead's still not 100% well.

Although some would argue that Miko's not old enough to ride a motorcycle. Meanwhile Raf can ride safely inside Bumblebee without a problem (though he's not in the driver's seat).

While I do agree Miko is too young to be on a motorcycle, I could see them do it temporarily as an "emergency .. Get on, we've gotta go" type situation. The only reason I think that is because they could have Bulkhead see this, while Miko is having a lot of fun riding Arcee, and further his depression and feelings of being replaced.

And I've got to give the writers credit, small things like having Raf & Miko always being shown in the passenger seats (because they're too young to drive) are nice. It's the attention to small details like this that really make me like this show even more.

I wonder if Bulkhead will sorta of leave Team Prime to run with Wheeljack since right now Smokescreen has replaced him.
